Brown's Beach House at the Fairmont Orchid Hawaii

Fodor's Review

Nestled alongside the resort's sandy bay, Brown's Beach House offers beautiful sunset dining and innovative cuisine. Attention to detail is evident in the sophisticated menu, like the Maui Axis venison with Molokai sweet potato, roasted roots, cocoa, and ohelo berry. Seafood lovers might like the crab-crusted Kona kampachi or the steamed local snapper with local mushrooms, garlic eight grains, tobiko, spinach, and lemon truffle ponzu. The menu includes choices that accommodate diet-specific preferences such as macrobiotic, raw, vegan, gluten-free, and diabetic—amazingly, these offerings are as flavorful and inventive as everything else on the main menu.
